The more powerful a wizard is, the bigger hat he usually wears. As silly as it may seem, it does in fact prove their skills as it shows they’re actually capable of constantly supporting all that weight with magic.

@KNap that’s why the parking places around Mage Towers are actually for hats!

My entry for this month:
Couldn’t do the additional challenge this time 
I don’t know about the others, but to me, learning how to draw a good background/landscape is as important as drawing a good character. Not a month goes by without me learning something new, even if I have to step out my comfort zone and get annoyed with my lack of skill. In the end, I always make a step forward, even if it’s a tiny one!

Big Hat Day at the Kentucky Derby
The crowd cheers as the horses race past with a thunderous pounding, churning up the ground in their wake. Lady Sloth, with her freshly manicured nails and brushed coat, wears her finest Derby hat as she watches from the best seat in the house.
With the theme being ‘Hats,’ I thought—what better than an outlandish Derby hat? If you’re not familiar with the Kentucky Derby, it’s a costumed Big Hat event!

Step right up, folks…take a flyer ad for our new hat store downtown!
That’s right, the store is SO new we don’t even have a name for it yet.
In fact, the lease is already expired and we’re moving to our new location, where ever that will be.
So come on by and get one of these wonderful hats before they are gone.
(while supplies last or until pulled from the market for safety reasons)

I hesitated for too long about whether to post my first entry or not
This is a trickster’s hat. It was somewhat inspired by the July 2024 challenge, Still life from another world.

My original idea was to paint the universe inside of the silhouette of a hat, but I switched it up as time was winding down. I hadn’t actually painted the hat at first, but photoshopped it from a photo I’d taken of me trying on a bunch of hats at a costume shop. Then, @sooz reminded me that NO Photobashing was allowed. It’s just after 5am and I am preparing for a road trip, but in good conscience I managed to change it. Now, all is painted on Krita. 
I like it better, too!
